10 WWE Wrestlers Who NEED A Big Push After Royal Rumble 2023

Logan Paul is destined for a match with Seth Rollins, following a tease at the Royal Rumble, and the penny appears to have dropped at long last. Paul is a heel, was never not considered a heel by the domestic fanbase, and has now accepted his lot as a heel.

He is unspeakably talented at what isn't even his chosen craft. Wrestling is a hobby to him, and he's significantly better at it than far too many members of the full-time roster. This could drive the storyline with Rollins.

This could be tricky, since Rollins was pretty great immediately in ROH (matches to which WWE does not own the rights) and debuted in seminal fashion as part of the Shield - but Paul could vlog his live reactions to Seth's early FCW matches. Paul could brag that his three matches were stadium-sized spectacles, where Rollins toiled to defeat long-forgotten developmental "prospects" in various Floridian sh*tholes in his early WWE days.

Paul needs the push here, and WWE needs to really put over who the heel and babyfaces are.

Fans will impulsively pick Rollins, but he might have to rein in his more ridiculous traits - otherwise there's a risk of this being the Spiderman meme, only with two tw*ts pointing at each other instead.
